Dissident Chinese artist Sheng Qi is less recognisable than his peer Ai
Weiwei, but his work is just as subtly provocative.
In 1989, in protest at the Tiananmen Square massacre he chopped off his
little finger and buried it in a porcelain flowerpot in Beijing.

Some of of his work focuses on replicating this act of anger and defiance,
while other works subvert stereotypical images of Chinese power and
propaganda.
After Mao died, the Chinese moved forward to focus on economics. So the Chinese currency,
which is strong, has become one of the major ways to show the country's power. But the Chinese
people are still living in poverty and suffering, so this is the issue I am focusing on in my current
work

I am focusing on 3 issues: history, people, and politics. These 3 points are linked in all my work
